About

Hi there! I’m an Interior Design Technologist who’s all about creating spaces that feel good, function well, and inspire. My focus is on combining biophilic design with the latest technology to craft environments that boost well-being, sustainability, and overall user experience.

I graduated from George Brown College in 2023 with an Advanced Diploma in Interior Design Technology. During my time there, I honed my skills in space planning, AutoCAD, project management, and sustainable design. One highlight? My team snagged first place in a Cosentino design competition by seamlessly incorporating high-performance materials into a standout multi-use project. That experience really cemented my love for finding innovative design solutions.

What drives me is the idea of merging creativity with technology to design spaces that truly connect with people. I love collaborating, learning from others, and pushing creative boundaries through experimentation.

At the end of the day, my goal is to bring designers, clients, and users together to create spaces that elevate everyday life and leave a lasting positive impact. If you’re looking for someone with a detail-oriented mindset, tech-savvy skills, and a passion for fresh ideas, let’s connect—I’d love to chat!

Invictus

Invictus is a place where those in need can seek shelter. Men of any age and background can find solace within the facility’s walls. Invictus offers private emergency shelters for individuals or families, constructed from up-cycled shipping containers. There are three options: family dwellings, individual dwellings, and accessible housing. Each dwelling is equipped with amenities like a bedroom and bathroom for individual men, fathers, and their children. The space overlooks a communal healing common area filled with greenery, providing a sense of home for those who need it most. The shelter is shielded from external pressures, and indoor lighting cycles through daily sun rhythms to create a more natural and calming environment. Just steps away from the dwellings is a space to grow, providing the services needed to assist those within the center.

Occupancy Load

According to OBC requirements for our shelter facility we are required to have 7 water closets for men and 13 for women, however due to the nature of our facility the number of men will out weigh the number of women. On top of that factor, there will be a washroom in each dwelling for the resident individuals.

Haworth

Upon walking in the front doors the naturally laced wall and dauntingly high façade will intrigue you to explore the space further. The large curved walls illustrating the ebbs and flows of life will dance your way through the luminous sunlight bouncing off vivid array of coloured furniture. With naturally built structures and a plethora of foliage throughout the space, one can feel grounded in an open and breathable environment that continues from the entry way to the back deck area, overlooking a lush green forested environment encompassing the building.
